    I want it to be beautiful and sporty. If not, that saves me money because I will continue to hold on to my 458. No reason to sell her for a Frankenstein.

    That’s a shame. I hope it looks good but did Ferrari get lazy?

    If I compare the 488 front to the Portofino front I prefer the 488. Having said that anytime things change, there is a negative visceral knee jerk reaction to not like the new thing like. Mentally in my mind I’m not liking the new design as I’m hearing it. However, the final product remains to be seen and is hopefully good looking.

    would you please tell the BB design is good or bad? do not expecting details, but if you like you may say only good/bad. "ferr9000" told that it looks like a proper spaceship. thank you in advance.

    Better get in line now and start your Mac buying history if you haven't. Going to blow away anything in it's class.

    It s not my taste, so i prefer a pure design with a proper identity. For me front doesn t work...
    At such level of price and exclusivity, i don t need to have a design with differents codes from other cars of the brand. I know i ve bought a Ferrari, it s not necessary to see pieces of other cars for remind me such a fact .
    An Aston DB 11 has an own identity , much different than the Superlegerra...I prefer this way

    People say the same thing about every desirable McLaren, yet they're all pretty easy to get. Remember what people said about the 600LT recently? Dealers have plenty and the coupe is pretty much out of production already.

    This is interesting. Sounds like a parts bin and body parts special...

    Since there is only 488 facelift at Geneva automobile show, I think I’m not looking forward to it that much this time:( I really prefer to see 488 Big Brother rather than 488 facelift in Geneva, I mean such an important show we just here to see a facelift? How you gonna attract more eyeballs? :eek: Cmon! Bring the big brother to Geneva and then show the 488 facelift in May:rolleyes:

    Very funny how people tend to overreact
    Just wait to see it !

    I just don't want a new F512M styling wise.

    Probably it doesn't matter as long as it will have at least 720cv and will not be slower than mclowen. You got it, mhm?

    Some people say Portofino's headlights, other says SP38/J50 headlights. They are pretty different

    So Dear F-Friends now that even the look of the 488 face-lift is practally known....how many of you saying that it was a replacement will come to Geneva to pay me the Espresso??? :)

    Coffee timing is approaching but before one stop at Paris Retromobile show and RMSotheby’s auction next week....some executives of Ferrari will be there too!

    Btw BB is scaring to drive even for test pilots!!

    See you in Paris or Geneva!!
